Radeon R7 M445 vs GeForce GT 720M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 M445 beats the GeForce GT 720M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 M445 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon R7 M445 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 M445 is faster than the GeForce GT 720M.
